File upload
Let visitors send you photos, videos or PDFs (e.g. "Share your photos"). Files land privately in your uploads inbox, never on the page.
Pro: this block is part of Pro and Business. On Free it shows in the list with a Pro tag.
Using it well
Visitors send you photos or files (Pro and Business), for example pictures from your event. Choose which file types are allowed, the folder they land in under Uploads, and what visitors fill in (name, message). Photos are made smaller before sending and location data is removed. See Visitor uploads.
Adding it
Open your site in the builder, choose Add in the left panel and pick File upload (or search for it). Click the block in the preview to open its settings on the right.
